Request to expand article[edit]

this band is world wide known, it should have more info, anyone for the call? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doitch (talk • contribs) 19:08, 4 January 2006

Band name origin[edit]

i have removed the paragraph stating when the phrase "pretty girls make graves" was first used (in kerouac's novel the dharma bums), as i do not see how this relates to the band given that they have stated before that the name has come from a smiths song and not the novel.

Why does it matter whether or not they got it from the Smiths? It's still a Kerouac quote, so they ultimately got it from Kerouac, and should be attributed to him. --Piratejesus 03:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that since it was Kerouac's phrase originally, he deserves the quote, and the band has to recognize that it originally comes from him. I just added which book the quote originates in because the way it was phrased it seemed like it was something he just went around saying, which is sorta morbid.

Would just like to mention that they are currently on tour, someone should probably change to part about them breaking up in 2007, because it's 2009. Guess they reconciled. SinStar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.108.182 (talk) 07:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So I came here byway of a reference to this Kerouac quote and this wiki page was referenced in relation to it ultimately coming from Shakespeare. This intrigued me since I enjoy others associated with the quote and wanted to know more about Shakespeare and The Merchant of Venice specifically. Googling around and the only links were direct copy/paste of this article so I tried to go to the source and found a full text of the play but I can't find any reference to the quote. I'm not an expert on quotes but I would think in order to claim someone said something (or wrote something) wouldn't it have to be the same line? I know in a lot of other quote discussions there's a lot of hoopla about how someone said things like an attributed quote but never the actual quote and I think this might be - at best - one of those situations. ^[1] Dividebyzero (talk) 19:07, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

tour dates[edit]

Normally, Wikipedia does not include upcoming tour dates. That is not in the scope of an encyclopedia article. I will leave it there for the time being, but another editor more strict than myself may delete it. - cgilbert^{(talk|contribs)} 13:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

There could be better clarification in the discography on the singles. I have made them. Joshuah Hounshell (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
